So far I am not impressedhttp://www.osnews.com/thread?345927
http://www.osnews.com/thread?345927I had a look at the new Moblin release and it is an american quilt (as in patchy and cluttered).
Lots and lots of libs and XFCE4 as the destop .. hmmm .. I think with Qt 4.5 being LGPL most of the work should be scrapped and they should use Clutter on Qt and maybe even drop Clutter.
I know they have invested a lot in Gnome Mobile and Clutter, but if you look at features and productivity Qt beats the current solution IMNSHO.Wed, 28 Jan 2009 09:13:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (kragil)CommentsRE: So far I am not impressedhttp://www.osnews.com/thread?345948
http://www.osnews.com/thread?345948I strongly agree with you about Qt4.5, but neve underestimate a developer pride.. Even if WidgetOnCanvas were 100 times better then Clutter I think they would prefer continue developing Clutter..

But I don't agree that Moblin is unimpressive. They are working hard on great things like (amazing) boot speed, and I think it's because Moblin that intel is investing so much in Xserver, with things like kernel-mode-setting, GEM, DRI2 and so on.

http://www.osnews.com/thread?346016While it would be amazing to see Intel develop x86 solutions suitable for the MID/super-smartphone market, I just can't help but think that ARM has developed much too much of a lead here. For Intel to have had an impact in this market, they would have had to have been smart enough not to sell off their StrongARM/XScale stuff.Wed, 28 Jan 2009 21:15:00 GMTdonotreply@osnews.com (madcrow)Comments
